Track Flash: Jamaica Takes Gold, Bronze in Women's 200
Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica won the gold medal in the women's 200 Thursday night in 21.74 seconds, capping a sweep of track's sprints.
It is the first time a country has won the men's and women's 100 and 200 events since the United States did so in 1988.
American Allyson Felix took the silver and Kerron Stewart the bronze.
Jamaica and the United States combined had the six fastest times in the final.
